When he is being tempted, let no one say, "It is God who tempts me," for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man.

and you look up to him who wears the fine clothing, and say to him, "Sit here in this fine place!" and to the poor man you say, "Stand there!" or "Sit on the floor at my feet!"

If you are keeping the royal law, which says, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thou dost thyself, you are doing well.

My brothers, what good is it if any one says that he has faith, if he has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, find warmth and food for yourselves," but at the same time you do not give the necessaries of the body, what good would that do them?

Some one indeed may say, "You have faith, and I have deeds." "Then show me your faith," I answer, "apart from any deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds."

Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?"

Go to now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall journey to such a city and spend a year there, and trade and make money,"

You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that."
